Default Cheap 18 inch tires
At $59 a pop, these would be great to just light up in smoke!

http://www.vulcantire.com/azenis_rt615co_t.htm

275/35R18
295/40R18
315/30R18

$59 each ($236 for set of four)

I doubt this closeout will last long

Wow, great deal. I wish I had something those would fit on. The RT-615 is actually supposed to be a great tire, but they offered them in sort of goofy sizing options.

The 295's are the wrong size for us, The 275's might be a good deal.

The 315's on the other hand... If only I had GTS flares.

Hey Sterling!

Thanks for the link, I forwarded to some of my racing friends, the sizes are perfect for them.

Phooey, wanted the 315's, availability said in stock, got up to take a pee and when I got back to order they are now out of stock, sold out. He who hesitates is lost.

Speak for yourself Bubbles... mine are 295/30/18.

A 40 Aspect Ratio would just fill up the wheel wells a little better: 19.5mm taller/wider (in profile)...

Just bought a set of the 295s. A little tall, but half the price of the HTR-ZIIIs I was running.

The 315s are still showing in stock.

The 265 and 275s are all gone.

Ryan M. Thanks, I tried again and got the order in. Woo hoo, two rear tires for 1/3 the price of what I was going to pay for just one.

Would these even come close to fitting on a 10" rim? I thought the max recommended tread to rim width ratio was 1.15 to 1, 315/254 = 1.24. I'm already at 1.16 with 295's....
